[NewsBusters and the Oregonian]
Oh the crafty Obama loving media!
That Oregon crowd of 70,000 that (supposedly) turned out for an Obama speech?
It turns out the crowd was drawn by a free concert given by the popular Oregon based band The Decemberists , whose last two albums, including The Crane Wife, received 4 and a half stars out of a possible 5 from Rolling Stone Magazine. And the weather was an unseasonable 80 degrees and sunny.
But 70,000 people turning out to hear an Obama speech made much better copy, so that is the story that was reported around the world.
